A Glimpse Into a Physician's World
Thank goodness physician Thomas Dent Mütter decided to donate his personal collection of skeletons, preserved body parts, medical illustrations, and more to the College of Physicians of Philadelphia 150 years ago. We might never have gotten to witness wonders like the tallest skeleton on display in North America, or the Soap Lady -- whose corpse turned itself into a soapy substance called grave wax.
